Timeout Bags create lockdown gifts to boost children's mental health
New company, Timeout Bags, is aiming to boost kids' mental health and emotional wellbeing by creating activity packs that can be sent as kids' lockdown gifts during COVID-19.
Studies have revealed that UK lockdowns have led to increased mental health worries in young children, with loneliness, poor sleep and disruption of routine seriously affecting children's mental wellbeing. That's why Timeout Gifts has created its range of activity packs for kids, designed to put a smile on small faces during these challenging times.
These award-winning home isolation gifts are designed to keep children entertained while giving them a break from their screens. Choose from an eight or ten-item gift box - or one of their bags of lockdown birthday essentials - with each containing a handpicked selection of kids' lockdown essentials that include games and toys, crafts, books and educational and fun activities.
Founded by mum of two, Alix Porter, Timeout Gifts provides great gifts not just for kids' lockdown birthdays, but to give an instant mood boost whatever the occasion. Engaging busy minds and supporting independent play, their gift packs can also help to give parents a break when attempting to juggle work, home learning, and family life.
A portion of the profits from every gift bag is donated to UK charity, Changing Faces, which supports children, young people, and adults who have a visible difference to the face, hands, or body - and provides support to Alix's own son, Jago.
During lockdown, over 80% of orders have been lockdown gifts from grandparents, enabling them to express their feelings in a positive way and to feel like they are doing something to help when times are tough, as well as putting smiles on children's faces.
Timeout Bags say, "Now more than ever, it’s so important to stay connected with friends and family and let people know you’re thinking about them. Our Lockdown Packs are designed to give kids a lift in lockdown and to brighten up their day by spreading kindness and joy in difficult times".
Suitable for children aged from 3 to 10, Lockdown Activity Packs are available in a variety of ranges, including Mindfulness Activity Packs, Get Whale Soon Bags, and Lockdown Birthday Boxes which make for great lockdown birthday gifts.
